The Daily News brought comic-strip buffs up to date on neglected episodes in the lives of Orphan Annie and Smilin' Jack, handed out free copies of undistributed Sunday-edition comic supplements.

On hand to greet the yachtsmen was Rockin's most conspicuous author, smilin' Cartoonist Zock Mosley, who normally writes the overage dialogue of comic-strip hero Smilin' Jack.

...admir ingly at the feet of their new President. Author Keith suffers from the conviction that every least thing that happens to her, her husband and their only son George is of overwhelming interest, and she records their conversation in some of the least plausible dialogue to appear outside Smilin' Jack.
